GeoComm Congratulates 9-1-1 ACOG on SCAUG Founders Award

March 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Congratulations to the Association of Central Oklahoma Government's (ACOG) 9-1-1 staff for winning the 2012 South Central Arc Users Group (SCAUG) Founders Award. ACOG was awarded based on a nomination submitted across the four-state SCAUG region for its emphasis on GIS technology in regards to keeping the 9-1-1 database accurate and ready for Next Generation standards.

The Founders Award was created in 1990 to recognize exceptional contributions by an individual or agency, from either the private or public sector, that have significantly enhanced the importance of geospatial sciences and made significant contributions toward advancing the use of GIS.

The individual or agency is identified as a GIS leader that has helped set a new standard of GIS within the SCAUG region. The award is based upon the innovative use of current technology, a creative approach to GIS business processes, the recent integration of major program initiatives, program effectiveness, the transferability of ideas to other organizations, education and training initiatives, and community outreach.

“GeoComm is proud to work with such an outstanding 9-1-1 organization and staff,” stated Jody Sayre, GeoComm Vice President of Client Services. “9-1-1 ACOG has been diligent with their 9-1-1 GIS technology and standards for years and this is a well-deserved award.”
